NUCLEAR DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION

Our experience in the nuclear industry spans half a century,
from the UK’s original fleet of power stations through 25 years
continual presence at Sellafield to today’s new generation of
reactors.

We completed construction of the Torness nuclear power plant in 1989, after which we undertook a series of contracts that saw us working at the site into the late 1990s.

We have worked at Sellafield since 1983 and have been responsible for the building and civil engineering of many of the site’s major fuel cycle and waste management facilities.

We carried out all the civil engineering, building and architectural design for 13 of the UK’s nuclear plants, including Sizewell B, the country’s only Pressurised Water Reactor.

We have a full design & build civil engineering and building
capability and offer a range of specialised services encompassing
the entire lifecycle of nuclear facilities from conception to life
extension, refurbishment and decommissioning.

With a long history of working within operational nuclear sites
and other highly regulated environments we have processes in place
to meet the exacting safety, security compliance and quality
standards required.

Our nuclear design consultancy comprises more than 60 technical
and support staff. We employ a wide range of Suitably Qualified and
Experienced Personnel [SQEP] and have strong established
relationships with a highly skilled supply chain.

We also have a large and experienced temporary works division
which liaises closely with our site engineers, ensuring an in-depth
understanding of each project.

This unique design and construction capability combined with our
depth of experience allows us to provide an exceptional
consultancy, technical solutions, materials analysis and
constructability service.

Currently providing civil design services for auxiliary
buildings at the Flamanville 3 EPR in France and the Taishan EPR
nuclear plants in China, our record includes the entire civil and
structural and architectural design of 13 and the complete
construction of six of the UK’s nuclear power stations.

In recent years our activities have been concentrated at
Sellafield and on assisting British Energy with life extension of
its AGR fleet. We provide direct support to British Energy’s
Projects Division, a role which has seen us designing facilities
including the turbine hall basement fire/flood walls at Hartlepool
and Heysham 1.

We also provide technical support to the Nuclear Directorate of
the Health and Safety Executive.
